This most reminded me of an aviation - I guess due to the sweet-sour style (of which I am a fan), and the inclusion of Luxardo. The aromatic quality also makes it distantly reminiscent of a Martinez.

As it is fresh cherry season, had this as an after dinner cocktail with fresh cherries as the garnish. It was wonderful. Makes a great after dinner martini.

A wet martini with the addition of Maraschino. The Maraschino really changes the flavor profile. I like it, but it's a bit off the traditional martini track.

This was really good. Wanted something to have as a cocktail for our Silver Wedding Anniversary, this was perfect with fresh blinis, sour cream, and caviar. Perfect. Thanks.
